Southport is a historic coastal township about 100 km south of Hobart, positioned at the very southern edge of Tasmania’s sealed roads. Once a thriving whaling, timber, and convict-era port that was even considered as a potential colonial capital, today it offers a peaceful retreat steeped in story and natural tranquility. The town features a small sandy beach and jetty ideal for calm water strolls, fishing, and quiet reflection. Just nearby, Roaring Beach lures surfers, while the Southport Lagoon Conservation Area showcases rich forest, heath, sedgeland habitats, and wildlife—making it a superb escape for those seeking both rugged coastal scenery and a gentle, slower pace of life.
